The "A Night At The Opera" Computer, December 2003

The custom build starts with a motherboard & CPU. Items are carefully chosen
to meet the needs of the user. Motherboard is an ECS KTec1234, version 8.
Features onboard sound, USB, ATA 133. CPU is a 1.6 Gigahertz AMD Duron,
picked for efficiency and power saving. Memory is 132 megabytes of DDR RAM.
This is the foundation for a great Internet station, solitaire console and
letter writer.

The Antec True Power power supply can provide 350 watts - really an
over-spec for this machine. This will allow the power supply to operate at
below demand, giving it long life and quiet operation.

Case in point. The Barovelli 'Night At The Opera' computer is contained in a
sexy red trimmed AOpen tower case. Metallic Red trim is not often seen in
stodgy business or geeky systems.

Power supply is installed with sound deadening gaskets and special order
fasteners to reduce noise that can be caused by mechanical vibrations
transmitted to the chassis.
